WASM shouldn't be an issue since the draco decoder uses it - but it may only work with V8 (for quickjs builds it wouldn't work, but the default builds use V8+dawn). Obviously with an alpha runtime, there may be bugs.

I think it would be super cool to have some sort of extension before WebGPU (web) has it. I was taking a look at the prior example & it seems like there's good ongoing discussion linked here about it: https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/535. Also I believe that Metal has hardware ray tracing support now too?

Re: Implementation, a few options exist - a separate Dawn fork with RT is one path (though Dawn builds are slow, 1-2 hours on CI). Another approach would be exposing custom native bindings directly from MystralNative alongside the WebGPU APIs - that might make iteration much faster for testing feasibility. The JS API would need to be feature-flagged so the same code gracefully falls back when running on web (did this for a native draco impl too that avoids having to load wasm: https://mystralengine.github.io/mystralnative/docs/api/nativ...).
